Not wanting to risk the chance that any overweight Wii owners are still lurking out there, publisher Deep Silver has announced that it is to release its own entry into the console exercise sector – Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009.

The title carries the name of celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels from American TV series The Biggest Loser. It will compete with Nintendo’s globally popular Wii Fit and Atari’s recent entry into the market, Family Trainer.
